Last season, Rutgers rallied for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.com\/rutgersfootball\/2023\/12\/rutgers-exorcises-miami-demons-beats-canes-in-pinstripe-bowl-to-cap-1st-winning-season-in-decade.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a 31-24 win over Miami in the Pinstripe Bowl<\/a>, giving the Scarlet Knights their first postseason victory \u2014 and winning record \u2014 since 2014. The postseason win gave Rutgers momentum for 2024, and Schiano\u2019s team can now claim a new postseason streak.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"SO5T7TFSTJG7ZBZ67PZTG2J4MY\">So with that streak comes the next big question: Where might the Scarlet Knights end up? The short answer: A lot can change over the final two weeks of the regular season. Rutgers can play its way up or down the bowl tiers with wins or losses against Illinois and Michigan State.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"IYDUSOSYRJDXFCMWZF2BUJTQGQ\">It\u2019s also important to remember, the conference\u2019s four newcomers \u2014 No. 1 Oregon, Washington, UCLA and USC \u2014 are not eligible for the seven games with Big Ten ties. The newcomers who achieve bowl eligibility and do not qualify for the College Football Playoff will be selected from the former Pac-12\u2032s \u201clegacy pool,\u201d a list of six games for teams that played in the conference in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"YT4UT5RBBJDG5C4VUEGE6DF4DQ\">Another important question: How many Big Ten teams will reach the six-win mark? With one Big Ten game left to be played Saturday night (No. 1 Oregon vs. Wisconsin), there are nine teams that have clinched a bowl berth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"CBFWNC3MKNHHBE3OW3SPIV4KYE\">For what it\u2019s worth, the Big Ten has seven games available for teams that do not qualify for the CFP with flexibility if more teams reach the six-win mark. For example, Action Network\u2019s Brett McMurphy has projected a Big Ten team may end up in the Armed Forces Bowl depending on how many teams reach bowl-eligibility elsewhere. It\u2019s an inexact science with two weeks to go, but here\u2019s what you need to know at this point.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-heading\">Big Ten bowls<\/h2>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"EUWRYYA6YZHY7PDZ2PT5QRM2GI\">These seven games are listed in order of ranking, meaning the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl will land the top-ranked Big Ten team that does not qualify for the CFP. The selection process then flows downward for the next six selections. It should be noted there are \u201cvariety clauses\u201d to ensure new teams appear in each bowl in two to three years depending on the bowl.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-table-wraper\">\n<table class=\"article__table\">\n<thead class=\"article__table-head\">\n<tr class=\"article__table-row article__table-row--head\">\n<th class=\"article__table-header\">Bowl game<\/th>\n<th class=\"article__table-header\">When\/Where<\/th>\n<th class=\"article__table-header\">vs.<\/th>\n<th class=\"article__table-header\">Variety clause<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"article__table-body\">\n<tr class=\"article__table-row article__table-row--body\">\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Cheez-It Citrus Bowl<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Dec. 31 at 3 p.m. in Orlando, Fla.<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">SEC<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">No Iowa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"article__table-row article__table-row--body\">\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">ReliaQuest Bowl<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Dec. 31 at noon in Tampa Bay, Fla.<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">SEC<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">No Wisconsin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"article__table-row article__table-row--body\">\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Duke\u2019s Mayo Bowl<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Jan. 3 at 7 p.m. in Charlotte, N.C.<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">ACC<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">No Maryland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"article__table-row article__table-row--body\">\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Music City Bowl<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Dec. 30 at 2:30 p.m. in Nashville, Tenn.<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">SEC<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">No Maryland<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"article__table-row article__table-row--body\">\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Pinstripe Bowl<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Dec. 28 at noon in New York, N.Y.<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">ACC<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">No Rutgers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"article__table-row article__table-row--body\">\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Rate Bowl<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Dec. 26 at 5:30 p.m. in Phoenix, Ariz.<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Big 12<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"article__table-row article__table-row--body\">\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">GameAbove Sports Bowl<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">Dec. 26 at 2 p.m. in Detroit, Mich.<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">MAC<\/td>\n<td class=\"article__table-data\">N\/A<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"article-heading\">Where things stand<\/h2>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"XEVAXKQHCVAWBBM2ORHIATHIWA\">At the conclusion of the Rutgers-Maryland game, the Big Ten has nine teams with at least six wins.

Eight other teams are still in the hunt for six wins over the final two weeks while Purdue is the only team that has been mathematically eliminated.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Big Ten bowl picture\" aria-label=\"Table\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-Hhqee\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/Hhqee\/1\/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" height=\"1055\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-heading\">By scenario<\/h2>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"AVFO72G6INHSJKLMFBWGTAEEJQ\"><b>With two wins<\/b>: This is the best-case scenario and would mean dethroning Illinois for the Citrus Bowl and jumping a few teams that have head-to-head wins over Rutgers.
